Diving in some entertainment news Apple TV plus will now be called Apple TV without the plus
The rebrand was announced at the end of a press release about the F1 the movie
Quote Apple TV plus is now simply Apple TV with a vibrant new identity
So there you have it
I think people just call the Apple TV anyways. I pretty sure I don't know anybody that has ever said the plus of any of these things
Yeah, I don't I don't know and
All of this
Like I get the idea and marketing is very important. There's there's you know, you certainly understand that but a lot of this stuff
Just feels like well, that's that's all well and good great job
But I know that that costs money to rebrand and I think that as consumers
We'd be much more interested in you keeping the plus and lowering the and using a negative
Subtraction and on how much it costs to subscribe to these things. Yes, that's a that's a plus right there
Yes, nicely done. I don't know, you know that any of this so much of it too is is it like HBO
Just went through this with they were HBO max and then they just went to max and then another HBO and I mean all these
Different things just like an industry thing like right now. It's like oh, he haven't re-evaluated this for 10 to 20 years
Let's just rethink it and so maybe that's why they're doing it. I don't think anybody really knows what to do is streaming
Options. It's too complicated and each one costs certain amount and at the end of the day
You're paying more than you would for getting cable from your local area
Like some seem to be doing it better than others
But I don't know if that's just because in comparison to others
They look good compared to how bad some are doing it and everything
I noticed one of the bigger problems because all of these all of these streaming services use commercials now
And one of the big draws to streaming services was not having commercials right now that they have them
That's you know kind of going out the window
But the the one of the weirdest things to me about streaming and there's certain sites that are worse at this than others is
They have not figured out where to throw commercials in yes, and I like Paramount I have a subscription with Paramount
I use them and I like the company and everything I like the the streaming service I should say
But they are the worst in the world at these commercial breaks sure where like especially if you're watching an old TV show and
They had the current that the episode is already set up for commercial breaks
So you would think they would just insert them then nope
It's like five seconds right before that commercial break or right is it right in between a sentence or a scene
YouTube does this a lot too and
The the algorithms the way they're working it's it's really getting a lot of people that not even want to use these services
They've really got to figure that out the branding of them how to market the streaming services
All of these things are brand new. It's wild west with all that stuff. Yeah, so I mean
I don't blame them for doing this, but I also feel like it's okay moving on like what's the big deal?
What if they're gonna do these kind of things make it worthwhile?
Right, you know bring something to the to the conversation
Mm-hmm. I don't know. I think it's gonna be fascinated to see how this goes with streaming services and how many people are
Already going back to cable yeah, and just yeah, they're tired of playing the game
And I think that's the problem is it's such a game. It's like a okay
I'm gonna do this one because they only have this program here and then this one only has it here
And so you're starting and stopping or you're like oh, I didn't realize it didn't and that subscription and not as many people are
As savvy to that yeah, like they don't want to start and stop and you know
They don't know all the buttons to click and so on so it gets intimidating
So I get the like go with the older way of knowing how to do it here's your bundle
This is what you pay for every month and you can cancel it within the month and you know what you're getting into
People want that they like that. That's their right. It's it's comforting. Yeah comfortable
It's also the the added so many people so many people want to go home and they just want to click
Yep, they don't want to think they don't want to have to hit this this and this and sign into their account or whatever
Everything they just want to hit click and just flip and I there's no I have no issue with that
I think that I can relate to that
I think we've all been in that position before but I think that was one of the things that we missed when we went to streaming and we didn't think about and then you bring up
Something that I think is so important to this conversation and so if I was running a business
If I have a business what's the most important thing to me my my consumers my my people my
So how many businesses do you feel good about or do well or you've heard of well they did this and it worked out really well for them
Tricking your consumers
Because that's what they're trying to do basically now with what you mentioned there about forgetting that you even have a subscription
Some people out there that are not online a lot or not don't doing any of these things
I imagine that sounds really far-fetched. That sounds really weird
How could you forget that you're paying for something monthly?
But we've all done it and and it's one of the ways that they get us and it's actually a
Like they're they're teaching things about this and how to do that to people
What business has ever been benefited by tricking their their their customers?
No, it doesn't make sense. Nobody wants to go back to that. We're in that industry now. We're like into trickery
Which doesn't make sense and we're buying into trickery. We're okay with it
I
I've said I don't want to sway things one way or the other not that I could but just in case
I won't mention the the but there's two sites in particular that I've stopped using just be in part just because of that because they
Make it so difficult for you not so much to cancel I get that that's you know marketing and all that
But the idea that they take such pride in people forgetting about paying their subscription and all that
That's
I don't know that that that's not good business to me
No, and that doesn't make repeat business
You're not gonna me and that that's for any kind of business that does something like that when you're trying to trick people into things or
You know leaning into hey, yeah, don't don't worry. Yeah, just subscribe sign up for a year subscription
Don't worry about us. I think that's then I write. No, it isn't um the price of things is becoming more and more of a topic with whatever we're talking about
And this is just kind of life. That's how where we are right now as a society, but it also kind of
It can't it can't be helped you can't avoid it almost
Money comes up again in this next conversation. Rush fans lost their mind in a good way when they heard that their favorite band was getting back together for some reunion shows
Actually, I didn't even know about this. Yeah, our sports director Michael Comer actually told me about this
He texted me the other day and was asking me about Neil Perth
Being replaced the famous drummer from rush
Arguably the greatest drummer rock drummer of all time a lot of people that know much more about music
We'll tell you that I'm just repeating what I've heard. Yeah
But now they're getting angry the rush fans were excited that rush was gonna tour
But now they're getting angry for a whole other reason when they find found out how much the tickets cost
Oh, no, according to alternative nation nosebleed seats are going for more than 300 bucks
Whoa, and they're rising from there
They're also selling premium packages with a range of 650 dollars to 2500
And those packages aren't offering much beyond a a laminate and some like trinkets
um
And this is not for nothing, but we're talking about a three-piece band and it's two thirds of it
And I think that for a lot of people
That's gonna have an effect right on that a big rush fan
I don't know a lot of their music or anything like that
But what I do know I respect and I think it's cool
And I think any band that's got the longevity they do um actually
They're fanbases one of my favorite fanbases. I've never met a non cool rush fan
Yeah, they all seem to love the band. They're all you know, and they're happy about it
Some fanbases, you know, if you you mentioned that they don't know their music they get bent out of shape and everything rush fans
They seem to be like oh you got to check out this song. Yeah, I like that. I like that. That's fun
I a lot of this is out of a band's hands, you know alternative nation. They're their own thing
They decide the ticket prices a lot of that
but the
Like everything else we're talking about the fans are the ones that really get hurt from this the band is hurt to a degree because
Out of ten rush fans how many of them can afford those tickets? Yes, exactly. I can I don't even know how anybody's afforded tickets nowadays
Wild plus I would gather that law of averages here most rush fans are a little older
If you're if you're looking to see rush because this may be the only opportunity you get and everything
You know, maybe you have a little disposable income, but you got three grand worth
I know right the tickets are gonna cost you at the lowest 300. Okay, but then there's parking. There's location
There's all they're eating like all this stuff. You're further away. I mean all of that. Yeah
It's just a shame because you know
At the end of the day the fans are the ones that get hurt the most by this
and
This stuff is chickens come home to roost like this stuff is going to hit a mark where
It's nobody's even going to these shows because nobody can
It's getting closer and closer to that I agree
One of the things that I I like to do is give people a little bit of a behind the curtain look
not just of what we're doing around here, but
My my life in the entertainment world or other areas
Just different spots and one thing that I try to bring attention to whenever I have an opportunity is how much
producers, you know run hollywood run entertainment and everything sure there's
There's a lot of great directors writers out there and they come up with these really interesting movies or concepts
And then while I can't just make it myself. I need money. I need help so the producers come in and because they're giving you
500 or $5,000 or whatever they feel like they have a right to say or change whatever they want
Hey, that's a really nice ending, but can we make it sappy or whatever the case might be and then sometimes
They also can be the hold-up of something not even happening
There is a lot of that going on and there's been a lot of that
There's a lot of movies for example the smashing machine the new movie that came out with the rock
It's getting a lot of critical acclaim
He's been trying to make that for 10 years. Sure like that's a movie that that could have been made in his prime when he was much younger and everything
There's there's a lot of those stories and there's so many of them that we never even hear about
Well Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill struck gold with the 21 jump street movies and then against the odds
They struck gold again with 22 jump street the rare sequel that kind of worked out in the box office and with fans
So they're you know where they were like well 23 jump street making another one just makes sense
It seems like a no-brainer and they were working on it working on it and then 11 years passed by and still nothing
And then Channing who Channing Tatum is pretty honest in interviews
You really doesn't really hold back a whole lot
Well Channing brought up that it wasn't him or Jonah because a lot of people have been saying
Oh, they don't want to do it one of the main actors
That's not the case. It's actually a producer named Neil M. Moritz
Apparently the movie is just too expensive to make because paying all the producers would cost as much as the budget of the actual film
So think about that a movie not being made not because the actors are costing too much or the budget and a special effects are too much
But because the producers are asking for too much of a paycheck
That's insane. That's that's just the the opposite of creativity
Uh, apparently the movie
Could still be made
But they're looking at maybe moving on from some of these producers
Yeah, I was just gonna say could they get it if a producer? I mean, of course it would have a it would be a little bit different that way
But yeah, but I think worth it. Yes, instead of not doing it Channing says he and Jonah and several other producers have agreed to take a smaller fee to make it happen
But mr. Moritz says he won't interesting
Yeah, by the way Channing says there is a script for 23 jumpstreet and he says sincerely the best script
I've read for me and Jonah in a long time
So it sounds like if they got it actually a good concept. Yeah, what's holding it up is these money bags
Yeah, they're like nope. Can't I can't budge
Uh, how much is I mean how much is too much? You know, how much do you really need to make to a certain point where you're like
You know what I'm good like yeah, why does that never seem to happen to millionaires? Why does that?
But right anymore. I mean, come on. I don't understand it
I wanted to mention our friends that was kind of throughout its community theater
They've got a bunch of great things going on of course throughout the fall and winter months
Taking through the whole year. There's gonna be some fun stuff the variety show was a huge success
Congratulations to everybody that was a part of that well done everyone and
The silver fox has got a show coming up. They're gonna be joining us on the rapid support sometime soon here
I love their shows the silver foxes do great stuff
They are added again, and they've got one coming up eat drink and be murdered

Support locals support our friends over the silver foxes
And if you are a senior out there and you've ever thought about getting into
Plays or any of these kind of things the silver foxes is right there for you
Um, you don't have to worry about memorizing lines. You don't have a lot of those things going on
It's really about just performing and having fun
Uh, I love the silver foxes one of the things that I think is a advantage of getting older is the opportunity to play older roles
Other characters we just did on golden pond and uh, Norman is one of those like iconic characters to me is such an archie bunker character
I think well getting older you can play a character like Norman or Atticus Finch from, uh, you know, um, uh to kill a mockingbird
There's one of my dream roles things like that and being a part of silver foxes
As you get older you get to do certain things that are pretty cool
Encourage you to get your tickets and find out more about the silver foxes October show eat drink and be murdered

Uh cat and I take a quick commercial break come back and we're going to get into this interesting article about positivity and uh optimism
Talk about that when we get back on the morning show at wfhr
Welcome back everybody
You
Greatest baseline ever yes superstition
Uh, I hope y'all are having a great great morning out there cat and dreams here with you. Thanks so much for joining us
Um, I got an article here that it came across and it actually kind of what it started with a different um
One of those rabbit holes you go down at like one in the morning. Uh and rabbit holes and you're supposed to be sleepy and a dream in
Should a bit should a bit um, but I did um get into this and I really thought it was interesting
And I couldn't wait to share it with the audience and I thought you're a perfect co-host for this one
Our headline optimists live longer study finds
Some people are wired to be pessimistic, but it's impossible to learn how to be more optimistic and reap the health benefits experts say
So we are seeing more and more with more and more data and different studies that are being done from everything from the brain to the heart
Yeah, that it actually does seem to help your longevity your health to be more positive to approach the day with a little bit more of
Well as uh as I was told as uh when I was a little kid especially when I moved out here
I walked around everywhere with my fists clenched. I was always looking over my shoulder
I was always ready to get into a fight or something like that and finally a good friend of mine told me
You know you walk around all day with your fists clenched you're gonna get in a fight sure
And I don't know if he meant it this way or not, but it was a real eye opener for me
Well, I can't approach the day like that. I can't approach life like that. Of course
That's how my day is gonna go if that's the only way I'm walking into it
Some we can't always help our the negativity in our brain
But if you walk around feeling that way you can't be too surprised when it's you have a negative day great
It's really hard to fight those things, but the more you fight at it
I truly do think that the more you find that today's get better
Uh having a high level of optimism was associated with longer lifespan a past age of 90
According to a recent study of almost of almost 160,000
racially and ethnically diverse post post metapausal women
Uh and he and just men in general of all ages cool by researchers at the Harvard
TH Chan School of Public Health. That's cool. It's like a really wide diversity of everybody, right?
It's not just saying hey, okay
This group of individuals that are you know this age this
This this sex and this ethnic background. It's like a wide range. That's cool. First of all
I don't know the last time I we've done a lot of studies and surveys and everything
I don't know the last time we've done one with that high of a number of of data. Yes
The study enrolled men and women between the ages of 50 to 79 and gathered data and survey responses on them for up to
26 years and 25% more the 25% most optimistic participants were likely to live up to 5.4% longer
And more and were 10% more likely to live the beyond the age of 90. Yeah
These findings stayed the same after accounting for a demographic's chronic conditions and depression
quote lifestyle factors such as regular exercise and healthy eating accounted for less than a quarter of the optimism
Lifespan associated indicating that other factors may play into it a little bit
So not just being positive doesn't just do this but being positive along with you know a good diet and taking good care of yourself
Sure, which makes sense because it's a whole picture
Quote we tend to focus on the negative risk factors that affect our health lead author Kay Kogja
PhD student at Harvard
Said studying population health sciences and she said in the statement
It is also important to think about the positive resources such as optimism that may be beneficial to our health
especially if we see that those benefits are seen across all kinds of different groups as you were touching on before Katrina
previous research also found similar results a 2019 study published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences based on data of
69,744 men women found or 69,744 women and
1429 men found that being in the group with the most positive outlook also related to a a a bump in longevity
Up to 11 to 15% longevity bump. Hmm. Wow. That's really big bump. Yeah. Yeah. So
Having an optimistic approach to life leads to a longer life. Sure. Yeah
Yeah, that makes sense. I mean like you said before it takes time if you you're usually you know
Feel like you're trutting up water and you feel more pessimistic
But you can kind of train yourself a little bit more or work towards it
Maybe it's not an everyday thing, but like working towards that
Not necessarily you need to be a polyanna, but yeah
Working towards it. What a great thing and when you're I know for me when I was really working to rewire my brain and to not be such a person that
Let's seize the
I spent the majority of my life not looking at the glasses half empty or half full
But oh, that's all I got to drink. How am I going to make that last? That's not a lot of water
You know this overthinking or or or or making any situation dramatic or serious or something like that
That's how a lot of my childhood was and it just makes some sense
But you know those days are long gone. I don't want to be that anymore. Yeah, you know rewiring your brain
Took years and years and years maybe even taking me over five six seven years and I'm it's something I'm still working on
It's a work in progress
But I've gotten to a point where I've had some bad days, you know in the past couple of months
And even in those days in those moments my brain is working so hard to find a silver lining or find something that it's
Be optimistic about it or or something to take from the moment that okay, this happened for a reason
Yeah, and it I'll be honest it could be annoying sometimes
But it's the way my brain is now and I did there. I don't think there's any going back
I think this is just who I am now going forward if that can happen to me with
The amount of like chemical imbalance that I had and stuff for so long in my brain
I have a hard time believing anybody out there that wants it can't get it
Yeah, it takes work. Yeah, but it's worth it and you live longer. Yeah bonus. That's a pretty good percentage shoe
And and you know even if the living longer doesn't seem that great to you
Whether it's living longer or not. How about a happier life? Yeah
Right me feeling a little bit more fulfilled or or also like the people around you too
A lot of that it's going to create more happiness in your surroundings
Scientists don't fully understand the pathways from optimism to health and longevity, but there are some theories
Such as another study that came out
From the Boston University that optimistic people are more likely to have goals and the confidence to reach them
So optimism may help people cultivate maintain healthier habits sure which can lead to them being a little bit more
That also makes a lot of sense
There's also something about if you're looking forward to tomorrow, you know, you're looking forward to things
It can't it keeps you young kind of keeps going and everything
So there's a lot to that you can find this complete article at today.com
You can go to today.com to find the complete article encourage you to read
There's a little bit more details to it and everything and encourage you to check out everybody because it's
It we want you around you deserve a long life you deserve a good life and everything and and honestly
How many pessimists have you met that are happy like you know, I mean, don't you want to be happy?
Don't you know enjoy your life a little bit more. I think it's worth it
It's worth it Katrina and I will take a break. We get to our news sports entertainment take care of our partners

And I can't believe I didn't think of that. I should have thought of that
We'll get we we'll do get to do a more later. Yes, to be continued
One of our to another continued conversation is life hacks
So I think these are kind of fun and interesting it can be anything from something simple like
A lot of people don't know that on your on your gauge your gas gauge on your car
There's a little pointer and that pointer is pointing right to where your tank is. Yes, some people you know
Especially if you if you're
We use a lot different cars and you're like which one is it on the left side or the right side
Yes, yeah, I recently had to use a different vehicle and I was like oh I have to get gas
Which side is it? I'm like yes, there's that little like arrow that points. Thank you
It was years ago, but my parents got a new vehicle like four or five years ago something like that
And my dad was like he was so thankful for that because he could he never could remember where it was and everything
Things like that
So with that we got a couple more for you here that we are the gang at Reddit gave us
But I want yours get us your life hacks everybody seven one five four two four twenty six hundred
What is something that you found to make your day a little bit simpler that you think?
Would be kind of cool for others to know when everything let us know and I hear it's up about it
Uh one of the ones on here using a potato peeler instead of a knife for cutting cheese. Oh
I never really thought about that. Yeah
I don't know if I've ever used it. I feel like it depends on like how
Like aged the cheese is because more age the harder it might be
But like I'm gonna go home tonight and I'm gonna I'm gonna do that. Yes
I try that. Oh, I think we're I think I'm having folks
I haven't I haven't dinner with my folks tonight. I think we're making tacos
I'm gonna make spread up some cheese
Yeah, I'm doing out the shredder actually get that out. I'm doing that. I'm doing that
And I'm not gonna tell my mom just gonna start doing it and see what she says. Oh, you learned
Oh, that's gonna press her
I don't get to do that very often. Yeah, do it while you can. Yes
Eating a kiwi with the skin on
Quote less effort to eat and more convenient
Um, I'm an ad kiwi in ages. I like kiwi. I would try that
I don't the skin is never I've eaten it before an accident and it's never bothered me
Yeah, it's definitely I feel like our culture in the US
We think you should peel it or you should eat around it like scoop it with a spoon
um, but um, I think like a lot of people in the south or like you know in different countries use it
Just eat the whole thing like we would an apple. Oh, sure sure. I think there's anything wrong with it
I I would say that one of my favorite parts of the apple is the skin
Yeah, and I wonder if that would happen with kiwi. I'd like to like really good nutrients in there too
I had a friend that used to say a
Potato peeler is a vegetable a nutrient stealer
So you're stealing nutrients the when you peel it. Oh, okay. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's good
Put popcorn kernels in a paper sandwich bag
Quote roll the bag closed and put it in the microwave for about three minutes once popped
Throw seasoning inside shaking and joy cost a lot less than actual movie theater popcorn
So your popcorn's already in the bag for you right there. You all yes
Um, I don't know if we've ever really if we've really still figured out the perfect way to make popcorn at home
Yeah, there's a lot of different ways since you and I were kids
They've had a lot of different things out there and everything, but I don't know. We've ever come up with the perfect way of doing this
Greasing a corn cob
But a quote butter a slice of bread then wrap it around a freshly cooked corn on the cob to coat the corn with the butter
Yeah, that's great. It's all that's genius because it always melts off. It's all over the place
Yes, yeah, that's good. And then maybe use the bread for your BLT or something like that nice
Yeah, oh, you are good at this. Yes. I love that. I love corn in the cob. I haven't had it in a long time
Right, right? I kind of want it now just try that everything. That's cool
Chopsticks for Cheetos. I think we've seen this one a couple of times. Yep
Mini ones. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is for those that don't like to get the Cheeto dust on their fingers and all that
I don't know if it would work for Doritos, but you're welcome to try. Yeah
As I will say though
I kind of thought that was part of the reason you you ate these. Yeah, you get the leftovers later
And I was literally thinking chopsticks
Like you take the the Cheetos as chopsticks
Yes, so my brain went somewhere else and not just taking chopsticks to eat your Cheetos. I got Cheetos 4
Yes, yes, yes, I love this make your make your that's why I said many ones and I'm like, oh wait
That's right
Just just like they do it in Beijing just like exactly exactly your
With your Cheetos
I got this another one that I really want to try just to see what this is a clove oil in your floor cleaner
Oh, I just heard somebody say that it is the best odor
Helping with detecting odors and such because it really like covers a lot of sense and so I was just thinking about using it recently
It says along with that that it keeps bugs from coming in your home. Sure. Wow
Especially this time of year. That's also good for two things. Yeah. Thank God for that. Yes
And let's see. Oh, I had a couple of other ones here that I wanted to mention
So this is an interesting one and we've kind of talked about things doing things like this before
And I think it goes a long hand in hand with the optimism story we were talking about just before
Smile broadly for a minute every morning when you are alone like in the shower or something like that
Maybe before after you brush your teeth
People think that oh, it's going to kind of be weird or whatever are superficial
But it works in lifting your general mood. I can see that I don't like to say that it tricks your brain
But it kind of it it sets your brain on this path. Yeah of that
A similar thing as far as if you do if you struggle with confidence those kind of things
Looking in the mirror every morning and saying looking good. Yeah, you're looking good today
Yeah, it may feel silly
It may not seem like it does a lot, but I guarantee you you do it for a couple of days do it for a week
You're gonna see a difference
Or you'll put more in towards like I want to feel better
I want to dress a certain way that makes me feel better. So I think all those things are important
It goes so much farther than than we can realize and especially if you haven't done what's there is there is no downside
This is not one of those side effects may include right there is none end of list. There is none
As a side note. Yes, I saw what I one I've never seen before there was I don't even know what it was for
But there was one of those pill ads. Yeah, yeah, you know the new skiffish often. Yes, I hope with this
I've never you know they always do the side effects may include. Yeah, I've never heard more like they mentioned like 80 side effects
And then at the end of it more side effects may be included. Oh, and you were like whoa
We don't have time for it. I guess you don't have for a 30 second commercial. You don't have time for all the side effects
No, you should not take it. It shouldn't even be out like they should probably be doing more studies on that all I could think about was
How did that get released?
Scary I think it was for like restless legs and you're more something like that. I don't want restless legs
But there's many other things I don't want. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it feels like no not worth it
Uh, what about this one cheese it's in soup instead of crackers. Okay fun. Oh, that's fun
I like that. I could see that try that um, this is one that I think I heard a long time ago
And I meant to try it and I never did and now it's just gonna be back in my brain wanting to
Grilled a grilled a grilling a peanut butter and jelly sandwich like grilled cheese
Hmm. I feel like I've had that and it was good. It like the peanut butter has like a rich
Warm rich flavor that comes out. I gotta try that maybe tonight. It's your dessert. I love I love grilled things or anything
Like you grill a boot and I'd probably eat it. I like I love grilled stuff
A dash of strong black coffee in any chocolate cakes cookies brownies frostings or pastries. Okay
A dash of almond extract and vanilla cakes cookies brownies and such
Um, uh, it it brings out a little bit of the flavor brings out a little bit of a different flavor with it coffee
Black coffee can do that man. What can black coffee not do people put like stouts and chocolate cakes and things like that
But yeah, like a little bit of
Chocolate and coffee together in a cake. That sounds I'm I'm ready. I mean that that's my giant. I love mocha coffee
So that sounds great to me. You just see that for your dessert. Give it to me
Freeze grapes. Yes, done that. That's delicious. Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's delicious. Oh, I gotta try that
We just don't choke on it. Of course grapes are already a choking hazard than that is frozen, but yeah, they're really good
Uh, that I have to try that sounds awesome
I have a neighbor that like love this frozen grapes
And it's great if your grapes are getting bad just throw them in the freezer and then you can have them for a later time. Oh, there you go. Yeah
Um, there there's a couple about uh, if you if you have trouble sleeping at night putting your pillow case or blanket in the freezer
Interesting and letting it cool and then you put it on like five ten minutes before you go to sleep
And it can like be a little bit cool. You know, hey like Billie de Williams said uh or you know
Cool is the other side of the pillow
I guess so, but then I also think of like I want to be cozy too. Yeah
But I guess I could get that you could get sleepy. Okay, you got James try that tonight
Um, well see if it works tell the radio tomorrow what happened be an experiment
Eh being honest and this is a safe place, right? This is just between you and uh, you and me here. Yeah, uh huh
I uh, this was my life hack. This was one that I brought it now I did didn't I am done this as an adult
But when I when I first moved out here and I was living in Rome
I was real culture shock. I didn't know, you know, I was having a hard time
Sleeping and I already had a hard time sleeping. So I don't know where she came up with it
But my Nana um had a pillowcase and she threw it in the freezer
Because I think I told you that I liked it cold or something like that. I don't know
And she would take it out like five ten minutes before I went to sleep and it it helped
It helped calm me it helped like sleep a little bit um and I hadn't thought about that in probably 20 years
So you should do that again tonight and see if that helps. I've been thinking about like well
What can I do to try to sleep better and everything? I've been working really hard on that and I don't know why but it just I
Popped up in my brain, okay, and um, I encourage you to try it if you want to
Okay, you just put the whole pillow in or just the pillowcase just the pillowcase. Okay, because you'd have to have a
Freeze happy hilarious though. Yes, I want to try that. It's a frozen pillow in its heart now
And it's like like if you hey if you ever wanted to go to sleep on an ice cube. Yeah, I mean maybe you last longer
I encourage people to try that one though. Okay, and one of the last ones on here put toothpaste on mosquito bites
They will disappear or at least not itch as much interesting. I mean that one again
All of these there's no harm no foul no blood no foul. You know kind of thing. I think we're trying that one especially
Yeah, like anything that could help mosquito bites remind you when it's spring again
